Overview

If you have the drive and desire to study Law at Monash but don't meet the entry requirements and you also have an interest in the sciences, this pathway can help you achieve your goals without adding to the length of your study.

This pathway is available to students who are Indigenous, have financial hardship or live in a lower SES area and apply on the basis of an Australian Year 12 or IB with no further study.

You will be admitted to the Bachelor of Science and will study 4 Law units and 4 Science units from the double degree course Laws (Honours)/Science.

If, at the completion of the first eight units, you have maintained a credit average (60%) in the four law units and overall, you will have the option to transfer to the single Laws course or the double degree Laws (Honours)/Science. Alternatively, you may continue with your Science enrolment. In each case, all the units passed will be credited to your course.
